Ferguson, Missouri Rally Report

 

Ferguson, Missouri Rally Report Laymen to Return in October     Ferguson, MO -- The men and women of the National Baptist Convention Midwest Region joined by brothers from other regions, had an informational service and prayer vigil at St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church, Ferguson, MO., August 26, 2014. Rev Dr. Jimmy L. Brown, president of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Missouri and guests representing various ministries and groups who were in support of the National Baptist Convention's presence, spoke on purpose and some prayed. Speakers were National Baptist Convention Midwest Region Vice President, Rev Dr. Jimmy L. Brown, National Baptist Laymen president, Deacon Harold Simmons, National Baptist of America, Inc, Brotherhood president Forestall Lawton, Rev. Carl Smith, retired police officer along with representatives of the Ethical Society of Police, National Save The Family Now, Inc. and Minister's Union of St. Louis and Vicinity.   Due to 95 degree temperature, the group took church buses and vans along with personal vehicles and parked approximately ½ mile from the true ground zero (where Michael Brown was shot and killed) and marched down to the "street memorial". Although hot, the sea of black suits, white shirts and red ties was well received. Onlookers and residents stated they could tell the real church was present.   After an opening statement by Rev. Dr. Jimmy Brown, a prayer was rendered and the group began to dialogue and pray with residents. President Simmons had an opportunity to pray and witness to a brother who was a self appointed advocate for issues he felt were important. After a group prayer led by President Simmons, all present, especially the young man, knew the National Baptist came to show their Christian convictions by sharing Christ and a biblical voice.   After an hour of fellowshipping, Rev. Dr. Jimmy Brown rendered a soul stirring departure prayer and all delegates returned to the St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church where they returned to their places of origin.    President Simmons promised the residents, specifically the young brothers that the National Baptist laymen will return and help with the restoration process. Delester Jefferson, president of the Missouri State Laymen will spearhead the effort.   The National Baptist Laymen's Movement had representatives present from Des Moines, IA, Jefferson City, MO,  Mississippi, Kansas City, MO., Chicago, IL, Independence, MO. along with local laymen from St, Louis and vicinity.   Report by Delester Jefferson and photos by Harold Simmons.   PS: A plan of action and return date will be set at the Annual Session in New Orleans.           The News Flash is designed to inform members, friends and supporters of late breaking news and events regarding the organization and the men and women who drive the movement.   Thad Jones is the publisher. tskm@swbell.net

Doris Simmons Prayer Breakfast Speaker

 

Doris Simmons 24th Annual Spiritual Prayer Breakfast Speaker       New Orleans, LA -- After fourteen years of directing the Laymen Wives & Women Supporters ministry and giving general direction to the annual Prayer Breakfast, Doris Simmons has been told to get out of the kitchen. With the coming election and the end of her husband's term, the women of the ministry has demanded that she speak in her final year and that she would have nothing to do the planning of the Spiritual Prayer Breakfast.   On Tuesday, September 2, 2014 at 8:00 a.m., Doris Simmons will be the 24th Annual Melinda J. Cade Wives & Women Supporters Spiritual Prayer Breakfast speaker. It will be held in the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.   The Prayer Breakfast began at the annual session in 1991 and the current Allen Jordan Seminar instructor Alcion Ambler was the very first keynote speaker.   Doris is a member of the Eighth Street Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kansas where she serves as a Deaconess and a Young Adults Sunday School teacher/mentor. She participates in the Women Ministry and has worked as a youth workshop coordinator.   She has served as a Youth-Friend volunteer for the Kansas City, Kansas School District 500. She is an active participant in the KAW Valley District Association and the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Kansas.  Doris is the wife of Harold Simmons, president of the National Baptist Laymen's Movement an auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc. She supports various facets of her husband's called ministry to the Laymen's Movement. She currently serves as the General Chairperson for the National Laymen's Wives and Women Supporters Ministry.   She counts all as joy when given an opportunity to facilitate various classes and workshops on Biblical Womanhood, Biblical Essence and Existence of Woman, and the Deaconess Ministry. Also, she spearheaded implementing a class in the National Congress for adolescence girls (daughters) to help them preserve a Biblical foundation while transitioning to womanhood. This past June 2014, National Congress of Christian Education included this class, "Biblical Daughters" in the curriculum for the youth department.   Through the inspired Word of God, facilitating various workshops, and with the assistance of her husband and other lay sisters, she has successfully completed publishing a book on The Biblical Essence and Existence of Woman. Currently, Doris and other lay sisters are co-authoring The Biblical Daughters Growing in Grace workbook.  Doris is a retiree from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway with 33 years of service. Her railroad career consisted of working countless positions in timekeeping, rates and revising, customer services, communication coordinator, traffic controller, train dispatcher, human resources, vehicle services, and other clerical positions. She was one of the first African American women to have worked some of those positions during her career.  She has an undergraduate B. A. Degree in Business from Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, and a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas. She has completed the National Baptist Congress of Christian Education requirements for the Certificate of Progress (COPP) Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 from Western Bible College, Kansas City, MO.  Lastly, Doris acknowledges God's blessing for the privilege of mothering two beautiful daughters Heidi (Charles) Harris and grandson Asa and granddaughter Aubrey; Paige (Anthony) Shelborne and granddaughter Payden; and nephew-son Amanual (Ebonia) Winfield and grandson Keighton.  Doris is drawn to evangelism and willingly witnesses to people about God's goodness, His grace and His mercy. She believes if she can help someone, then her living is not in vain. Her favorite Scripture is "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:12 KJV).    Chairwoman Eve Ridgeway is asking that all women wear white to the Spiritual Prayer Breakfast.     The News Flash is designed to inform members, friends and supporters of late breaking news and events regarding the organization and the men and women who drive the movement.   Thad Jones is the publisher. tskm@swbell.net
